50 Hryven National Bank of Ukraine, 20 Years Anniversary

The National Bank of Ukraine established its own printing facility in Kyiv in 1994, just three years after independence — a deliberate move to bring note production fully in-house rather than rely on foreign presses as the country had during its earliest post-Soviet issues. This commemorative 50 Hryven marks two decades of that institution's operation. It was issued as a legal tender commemorative, not a souvenir sheet, meaning it carried genuine face value and could technically circulate alongside standard series notes.

Pick 125 is collected primarily as a set piece; finding one in genuinely used condition would be the actual rarity here.
